Shu-Ha-Ri is a Japanese martial concept which describes the path of a student from a novice to an expert. The journey of the student is composed of three stages
Shu - The first stage describes the student learning under the guidance of his Guru (teacher) and strictly follows his teachings.
Ha - Is the second stage where the student reaches a level where he can take few liberties and innovate without breaching the tradition.
Ri - Is the ultimate stage where the student reaches a state where all his techniques are natural.
One should remember that the levels are not linear, they are represented as concentric circles with Shu within Ha and Shu and Ha within Ri
Interestingly, I was talking to my father about the philosophy and asked him if vedantha does have anything in parallel. My father then explained to me about Shravanam, Mananam and Nidhidyasanam, where
Shravanam - Is the phase when a student ardently listens to his Guru & Scriptures
Mananam - Is the phase where the student puts theory to practice, and tests his learnings
Nidhidyasanam- Is when the student contemplates on his theory and practice achieved through the first two phases.
